{fantastic freshly-cracked parmigiano reggiano}

i’m starting a cleanse this week. i’ll write about it next week so stay tuned! for this week, i thought i’d feature a few things that i super enjoy on a special level. i eat about 80-90% vegan. i’m not strict about it, but i just try to eat as healthy, local, raw, organic, and seasonal as i possibly can…

but, every now and again, i just love to indulge.

i eat really really good food pretty much all the time, and i am grateful for that. once in a while there are those things i just really look forward to… a fresh-cracked wedge of official parmigiano reggiano is one of those things for me. i’m not talking the parm you sprinkle on your pizza from the bottle or tub, i’m talking this thing has only been in contact with open air for less than 24 hours. i’m talking about a piece of cheese that is so unbelievably FRESH, flavours linger from it that absolutely blow your mind.

i’m talking about this specialty item from whole foods market.

i’m talking about parmigiano reggiano.

{ugli fruit AKA “uniq fruit”}

19 Mar

have you ever seen or heard of an ugli fruit?!

this is an ugli fruit. also known as “uinq” fruit, because apparently the name “ugli” wasn’t very PC.

i mean, either way i think it’s beautiful. look at that colour!

ugli {uniq} fruit is from jamaica and is similar to a grapefruit. it’s more like a pomelo but the skin isn’t quite as thick. the flesh of an ugly fruit is super sweet and juicy. i add mine in smoothies as well as eat them as a snack. when throwing it into my vitamix, i keep the white part included – it’s loaded with extra fiber. or just juice it – yummy!

the tree that produces this fruit has been around since the early 1900s! their season is just about over, so grab yours today! you can find ugli fruit at many health food stores like whole foods market nationwide.

{meatless monday} — “amazeballs” – a new year’s resolution-kinda snack you can enjoy 7-days a week!

31 Dec

a new year is ahead of us. {hooray!} this means a lot of different things to a lot of different people. for me, it means manifesting only good things derived from light, happiness, peace, honesty, community, harmony, respect, and most of all – LOVE. because that’s just how it has to be… and it will be.

and for a lot of people, new year’s resolutions are a common theme – many of which include things like “living a healthier lifestyle” or “eating better” and the like. so in the spirit of new beginnings and living a healthier, simpler, easier life – here is a recipe i came up with a couple weeks ago that will blow your taste-buds away. they’ll want to be calling more buds and be like, “dude, you gotta try this!”

easy. healthy. simple. delicious.

that’s how i roll. just like these “amazeballs” – and they’re sweet and savory – like me 😉 Continue reading →

{try-me tuesday – the “christmas orange”}

18 Dec

not to be confused with a clementine or “cutie” that you find in conventional grocery stores, you can typically purchase these tasty delights in most grocery stores, in the produce section… but only in the winter season.

meet the satsuma tangerine… also {rather appropriately} referred to as a “stem and leaf” tangerine… Continue reading →

{meatless monday – peewee potatoes}

24 Sep

look at these adorable little potatoes. aren’t they cute?! when i saw them i let out a little squeal and snagged them up. they are in fact called, “pee wee potatoes” and rightfully so, they are itty bitty! like, no bigger than a small pebble, i love it.

i just kept them whole, smothered them in EVOO and a S&P and roasted them in a 400 degree oven for about a half hour or so, until tender.

then take them out and let them cool a bit… {isn’t it interesting how the colour changes}

serve as is. i ate this entire bowl, they are out of this world delicious! sweet and creamy and they ‘pop’ when you bite into them… so much fun.
